Biography
Azahari Husin was born on 14 September 1957 in Malacca, Malaysia, and from 1975 to 1979 he lived in Australia, graduating with a PhD in engineering from the University of Reading in England. After meeting with Abu Bakar Bashir, he was radicalized and joined Jemaah Islamiyah as one of their bomb-makers, and in 1999 he trained with militant Moros on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. In 2001, he escaped from Malaysia when police cracked down on Jemaah Islamiyah's cell there, and he wrote bomb-making manuals for the terrorist group while making bombs used in the 2002 Bali bombings, 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing, 2005 Bali bombings, and other terrorist attacks by the group. On 9 November 2005, he blew himself up in Batu, East Java, Indonesia rather than let the D88 police force capture him.
